Chapter 456: Sending the Evil Spirit Away
"My Majesty, we have come on your first priority order. This is the item you asked us to bring." Lucas handed the black box to Arthur, but the Emperor didn't seem to want to stop walking.
"And here this box is the peak tier resource of your treasury, My Majesty." Lawrence also handed the black box to Arthur while walking.
"Hum, alright, now close the gate. The Goddess of Light and Elysia will act to exterminate the evil spirit from my wife's body." Arthur accepted the two boxes and conveyed his orders without turning his head. He only focused on the crystal pyramid while following the savior.
Lucas and Lawrence instantly became a little tense. Even so, they simply nodded to their Emperor and rushed towards the stone gate. It only required extra strength to close the gate without any mechanism.
Elena stopped at three meters from the sealed woman. Elysia and Arthur also stopped and stood behind her.
"Why are you so quiet and calm? Did it take that long to be stunned?" Elena slightly frowned because she didn't really understand what happened to the evil spirit.
"Keke, why, you say? It's quite surprising to me that a lowly mortal is able to get help from two divine beings. If a divine being like you is so relaxed about helping mortals, then where have you been all this time? Millions of creatures are begging for help, guidance and enlightenment to the source of divinity. However, what happened? Their countless prayer resulted in nothing but emptiness and sheer nonsense." The evil spirit looked at the golden-haired Goddess in front of her with a look of hatred.
"Hm, I don't know and don't care about the source of your hatred. You are an evil spirit from the Devil Race. Then, to whom do the millions of creatures you mentioned earlier send their prayers to? Your God is a Devil God who turned into an Evil God. What do you expect from him?" Elena smirked in response to the complaint.
"Again, perhaps, those who pray simply do so without any effort and cost. As is clear, depending on the circumstances, divine help is not free even though a divine being like me is actually very generous. Oh, you are an evil spirit, Saint Evil Spirit. Isn't that a match for the Evil God?" Elena dropped her fist into her open palm because she thought her guess was correct.
"What?" The evil spirit became quite surprised to hear the Goddess's answer. She began to think twice about what she had believed all along.
The world was filthy and cruel. No one would help the others. Therefore, one needed to snatch it, even by force or someone else's property.
"Huh? You don't know that? Never mind, you will also get our release soon. Ely, help me secure a female spirit imprisoned in there." Elena walked closer to the evil spirit and cast a transparent barrier around herself and Elysia.
"Mm." Elysia nodded. Now, Elena and herself were only twenty centimeters away from the sealed woman.
"Please wait a moment and don't move." Elena applied her magic to seal the evil spirit's movements, without exception.
After that, Elysia joined forces with Elena to secure Amelie's spirit. The two of them touched the petrified evil spirit's forehead. They started working toward near the middle dantian.
Elena emitted a golden energy aura, and Elysia deliberately only emitted a white energy aura. Nevertheless, the one who worked the most was not Elena but Elysia.
"Hmm?" Amelie felt the dark prison around her suddenly disappear without any prior notice. She seemed to float free, or maybe free fall. However, a golden light instantly enveloped her like a soft, layered bubble.
'Lady Amelie, the divine help has come to save you. Please wait a moment and please don't panic no matter what. We will destroy the evil spirit that possessed your body. Your husband, Emperor Arthur is eagerly awaiting your return.'
The girl's voice that seemed to calm the soul rang as if it was right in the ear. Amelie looked around, but she found nothing. Then, she stroked the golden bubble with a complicated and confused look. It was divine magic, she sobbed silently. After so long, it was time for her to be released from this prison.
'Hm, the queen's spirit has been secured in layers of protection. It would be fine to annihilate the evil spirit now if we don't injure the queen's soul.' Elysia retracted her hand from the evil spirit's forehead, and so did Elena.
'Perfect. As usual, you are very adept at delicate and meticulous matters such as dealing with spirits and souls, Ely. We will deal with this evil spirit after giving her a chance to say her last words. What do you think?' Elena smiled to see the evil spirit's frightened expression.
'Good.' Elysia stood back up and moved away from the evil spirit, Elena too.
At the same time, Elena revoked her sealing magic.
"Why do you look scared now? Where did your confidence go, hmm?" Elena folded her arms under her breasts. She looked at the evil spirit with amusement.
"Wha- what just happened? You were able to penetrate that far into the spirit prison!? No way, you were even able to secure that woman's spirit?" The evil spirit stuttered in surprise.
She checked it, but the queen's spirit was already protected in a golden bubble impenetrable by any magic or trick.
"Divinity is the one thing that you will not be able to comprehend with your mortal sense. It is a pity, but this is your final moment. Your entity is enveloped in cursed energy, an aura of evil, and a sea of hatred. The only thing that awaits you is a divine punishment for a liberation. May forgiveness be present to you in the next world. Say your regrets, complaints, or whatever your last words are while your opportunity is still there." Elena clasped her hands in prayer.
"Wha-ah, uh?" The evil spirit instantly became very scared and confused. There was no escape for her since the one before her was a divine being.
She turned to Arthur with teary eyes and a pleading expression. "My husband, honey, please save me please. I am your Amelie. I-"
"Shut up, you accursed evil spirit. Your're not my Amelie, , and will not be able to pretend to be one. Thousands of souls have fallen because of you. You are too dangerous to be allowed to live. Your sins has only one path of forgiveness, and that is determined by the Goddess of Light herself." Arthur turned around because he couldn't bear to see his wife's pitiful expression, even though he realized it was the evil spirit.
"My Amelie never begged me for anything. She is a strong yet stubborn woman and will only tell me frankly about what she wants or needs." Arthur muttered under his breath and closed his eyes. Even though he said that he was very relieved to know that his wife's spirit was safe and sound.
"You, and all of you are hypocrites! Devil, human, mortal, or divine. That punishment is just bullshit made by the strong. Yeah, the world has always been like that, the strong are free to rule and the weak cannot do nothing but be trampled and crushed. If this is my last moment, then I will blow up this body and take all of you with me! Let's see who laughs at the end, hahaha!" The evil spirit went crazy and laughed loudly.
Magic energy fluctuations instantly surged up and made the crystal pyramid glow with fiery blood-red color. The evil spirit's eyes were completely red, and the skin color was reddish.
Surprised by the sudden change in events, Arthur immediately turned to look at the evil spirit with shock in his eyes. "No way, where did all that magic come from!? All of your magic and evil energy should be sealed within the crystal pyramid."
"Keke, you never know and always stay ignorant. 36 years is not a short time and you have no idea what I've done, especially to that woman, haha!" The evil spirit laughed with its mouth wide open. She looked up at the sky, then at everyone in front of her.
*Pa!* *Pa!*
The evil spirit was unbelievably shocked to be slapped by a mortal girl. Then, a little girl also gave her a hard slap on her other cheek.
"Puh!" The evil spirit spat out a mouthful of blood. The ferocious magic energy fluctuations decreased rapidly, and the blood-red light faded away in plain view.
"How selfish and crazy. Are those your last words? You deserve to perish without help. What a poor and lost devil. May you be able to atone for your sins in the realm of death." Rhea wiped her hand clean with magic. She also did the same to Elysia's hand to ensure no viruses or evil energies were attached.
"Hah?" The evil spirit was astounded to see that the little girl also had a golden energy aura. "You're also a divine being? Hahaha! Since when did divine beings become like grass by the roadside? Three Goddesses would send me off into afterlife? I'm honored."
"No one knows what will await you in the realm of the dead. However, I can assure you that it will be unpleasant." Rhea snorted with disdain at the evil spirit. Then, she tugged Elysia's dress for attention. "Ely, let's go behind your master. She is ready to exterminate this evil spirit."
"Mm." Elysia just nodded and went behind Elena as if to take cover.
"That's a good double slap. You're just using your last moment to utter nonsense and wasted effort, huh? You're really beyond help, evil spirit. Your time is up. Sayonara." Elena opened her clasped hands slowly. "Divine Law, Heavenly Light, annihilate this evil spirit."
A ball of bright golden light appeared between Elena's hands to signal that the time of judgment had arrived. A golden magic circle, twenty meters in diameter, appeared on the ceiling and floor of the hall.
